IRCd and Ulimits

[demine0]

I've had lots of problems with cpanel and ulimits. Im trying to run unreal IRCD 3.2 on my box from a shell. Im having problems b/c of the crapy ulimit cpanel sets up.

with root:
root@srv01 [~]# ulimit -u
14335

I su to the shell my ircd is on and i do the same.
digtoxshell@srv01 [~/Unreal3.2]# ulimit -u
20

How can i change this to a perminate HIGH number? I created the account using adduser from root.

I've also tryed ulimit -u 65535 from root
then suing
but that doesnt work.

I get this error when i run the ircd.:
The OS enforces a limit on max open files
Hard Limit: 100 MAXCONNECTIONS: 1024
Fix MAXCONNECTIONS

well you could goto
/etc/security/limits.conf
and manually set the limits

Thanks for the reply.
Any idea what i would put in there? What i want to set is not a domin. Its a shell account.

I also dont see a option for ulimit ot sile dyceptors there.

if you read the commented text above it should give you a fairly good idea what to put

domain can be a username

ulimit -u shows the max amount of process aloud. thats why root is basically unlimited :P

Well, I tried everything on this topic . Nothing did it !

Whe I change limits.conf I need to do what to it take efect ?


Cause I need more processes per user , actually 20, and more oepn file , 100 now.

I need to rise this . But I only can rise under root. I changed the /etc/profile to run a ulimit to rise it .... But simply didnt work.

The I tried /etc/security/limis.conf ... I changed it .. What needs to be done to work ?

Well, I need this. But I cant set thsio up ..

Do the following,

go into /etc/profile.d/ and edit the two files limits.csh and limits.sh.

after that edit the file /etc/profile

and all should work.

This has worked on my system today.

I'm guessing that you visited the UnrealIRCD FAQ page, and checked up on ulimits there, and followed the directions that were given?
